Excerpt from Second Book in English for Coming Citizens Americanization has been defined as the "union of new with native-born Americans in fuller common understanding and appreciation to secure by means of individual and collective self-direction the highest welfare of all." This conception of the process of Americanization requires as a minimum that the native American engaged in the process be informed as to the immigrant's motives in coming to America, his attitudes toward his adopted land, his understanding of American institutions. Educators are agreed to-day that Americanization is a dual and reciprocal process, requiring the active participation of the foreign as well as of the native born. Ultimately, the immigrant must find himself in an American environment, must attach himself to American institutions, must contribute his gifts to their support and to their further development. As a means toward establishing such Americanizing contacts, the immigrant must at least be able to communicate with his English-speaking neighbor in the language of America, and to appreciate in an elementary way the things which Americans hold dear.

Excerpt from English for Coming Citizens The World War has brought home to us, now as never before, the need for effectively Americanizing the millions of non-English residents of the United States. The first and perhaps the most important step in this process is the acquisition of English, the tongue in which America thinks and expresses itself; for although the bonds of language are thinner than air, they are more binding than strongest links of iron. The foreigner in this country has, relatively, a greater need for knowing how to speak English than he has for knowing how to read, and he has a far greater need for knowing how to read than he has for knowing how to write. -Moreover, language teachers are agreed that speaking is the psychological basis for reading and writing, and not that reading and writing are the psychological bases for speaking. On this principle the content of the book has been largely selected and organized. The lessons have been written with the purpose of being usable at once by the learner in expressing his needs in English to English-speaking people. In learning a language nothing is more encouraging than to be able to make oneself understood, even though it be only in one sentence.

Excerpt from The New American Citizen a Reader for Foreigners To introduce, also, as soon as practicable, vocabularies variant to some extent from the words commonly used in daily experience is believed to be of advantage; for thereby the feeling of growth and mastery of language is developed. Such feeling will incite to the independent reading of books. The difficulty, heretofore, has been to find an emotional basis, universal in its appeal and sufficiently strong to command the interest of adult pupils of all ages and nationalities. The appeal of patriot ism furnishes the true emotional basis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Civics for Coming Americans The purpose oi this booklet is to put within reach of the foreign-born having a fair command of the English language such information as is required to pass the examination for naturalization. Many patriots, sympathizing with Coming Americans, would willingly give them a helping hand if they knew how to do so intelligently. They neither know what the applicant for naturalization needs nor are they familiar with the laws regulating the process. My effort is to give these men a guide, should they be disposed to help a group of aliens preparing for the examination in naturalization.
